As we prepare for the Annual Employee Appreciation Picnic, our hearts are full. It is no secret that our educators, administrators, and support staff are the backbone of this district—but it is our community partners who provide the extra "fuel" to keep that spirit soaring. We would like to extend a monumental Thank You to our Platinum 2025-2026 icnic Sponsors. Each of these organizations stepped up with a generous donation of $2,500, ensuring our staff enjoys an afternoon of relaxation, delicious food, and well-deserved recognition.

While the picnic is the highlight of the season, our appreciation efforts happen year-round thanks to the incredible support of SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union. We want to give a special "shout out" to SchoolsFirst for their ongoing dedication to our Employee of the Month program. Every month, our winners receive a $25 Amazon Gift Card courtesy of their team. This consistent generosity ensures that our top performers feel seen and valued every single month of the academic year. Thank you, SchoolsFirst, for being a champion for our champions! When our business partners invest in our staff, they are investing in our students. These donations allow us to maintain high morale and foster a culture of excellence across the district. To all our sponsors: You are more than just donors; you are an essential part of our school family. We couldn't do it without you!
